Frank has been in a car accident*. The doctor tells him he lost his spleen, but Frank believes he has lost more. He is missing memories - of those around him, of the history they share and of how he came to be in the crash. All he remembers is that he is a lawyer who specialises in small print**. In the wake of the accident Frank begins to piece together his former life - and his former self. But the picture that emerges, of his marriage, his family and the career he has devoted years to, is not necessarily a pretty one. Could it be that the terms and conditions by which Frank has been living are not entirely in his favour***? In the process of unravelling the knots into which his life has been tied, he learns that the devil really does live in the detail and that it's never too late to rewrite your own destiny. *apparently quite a serious one **words that no one ever reads *** and perhaps never have been.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A great and different book submitted by kadams7 on August 25, 2014, 8:31pm I loved that this book was all about the fine print. Almost every page has a sentence with an asterisk at the end where you follow it down to the bottom of the page for an inside thought. Some great quotes about life in here.

Entertaining submitted by kathscot on August 29, 2014, 5:53pm A very enjoyable read - funny and heart-wringing at the same time.
